Where is pyruvate dehydrogenase most likely active?
PDC is located in the mitochondrial matrix space, and is responsible for irreversibly converting pyruvate into acetyl CoA, the primary fuel of the citric acid cycle (CAC). Reactions of the CAC and fatty acid oxidation are performed in the mitochondrial matrix.
What happens to the acetyl CoA that is produced from pyruvate quizlet?
Carbon acetyl groups are converted to CO2 and ATP and electrons (carried by NADH and FADH2) create even MORE electrons. The 2-carbon acetyl group from pyruvate is taken and attached to Coenzyme A.
What is the most likely fate of the acetyl groups?
The most likely fates of acetyl CoA are: It enters the Krebs' cycle in the mitochondria to produce CO2 and H2O. It can produce ketone bodies in mitochondria.
What molecule is common to both C3 photosynthesis and the process of glycolysis?
